um. they SHOT themselves... think...
At one time medics were considered non-combatants and were not supposed to be shot. In World War 2 this standard seems to have changed on the Russian Front and in the Pacific. I am told that after the war US medics began carrying pistols, and today they carry assault rifles. It may be one of those gray areas like jaywalking. Medics are not supposed to be shot in war, but everybody does it anyway.

No. To be eligible for protection under the Geneva Convention as noncombatants medics had to be unarmed. It took a brave man. They had to expose themselves to the worst of enemy fire to rescue the wounded. Japan did not sign the Geneva Convention and routinely shot medics, so in the Pacific some medics did arm themselves. <><><><> Under the Geneva Accords, and the Laws of Land Warfare, medics and chaplains may carry firearms for the purpose of defending wounded persons "from wild animals". They wisely do not define "wild animals" While many medics did NOT carry firearms (and were some very brave people) some DID.
You may be thinking of the 'exotic' dancer Mata Hari who was executed in 1917 during the First World War .
